"Mr. William is so generous, I am really grateful." Little Newton smiled and said thoughtfully, "In fact, it is widely spread in our small circle that large-scale conscription to expand the size of the army is an important step in defending the country.

"

"Very good!" Sheffield said noncommittally. For Sheffield Rand Company, no matter how much the consumption at sea is, it can be calculated. How can a real ground war break out? That is the real bottomless pit. If you don't believe it,

Just look at the three major decisive battles currently taking place in Europe.

"There is also the matter of the air force. Mr. Lindley has already practiced this on airships. Personally speaking, I am very optimistic about the development of aircraft. They are also an important part of sky power like airships. As we all know, the United

Aircraft companies and a series of aircraft companies have mature technologies." Little Newton looked at Sheffield's face as he spoke, trying to figure out something from it.

"With a far-sighted view, both secretaries of war have made outstanding contributions to the country in strengthening aviation power." Sheffield wowed, almost at the same time as he spoke, he was already mentally calculating how much benefit he could get from the new order, "

But I am afraid that the simultaneous construction of airplanes and airships will expose the War Department to some unwarranted criticism. Everyone knows that media people have never been involved in human affairs, otherwise I would not have entered the media."

Sheffield recklessly hacked a group of people represented by his brother-in-law Ogle, which invigorated the atmosphere between the three.

"There is no problem. To use our folk proverb, if you pass by a river and see two fish fighting, it must be that the British have just left. Even if it causes duplication of construction in a certain sense, it can only be said that this time it is a world war.

It has caused everything now, and no matter how much we invest in protecting citizens, it will not be excessive, so..."

"So of course there is no responsibility!" Sheffield hurriedly said, "Even I, a citizen, feel that everything is so logical."

Sheffield had very good communication with the two successive war ministers. When the three of them returned the same way, the slave owners' wives had already dispersed and started chatting with people related to them.

"I really don't know what kind of charm William has, so many friends are willing to help." Lindley was moved when he saw this scene. When he turned around and saw Sheffield looking like he was out of his mind, he said softly, "William?"

"Maybe it's a kind of luck? I didn't realize that I have any talents." Sheffield originally wanted to give the two war ministers a simple answer, such as being rich! But when he thought that these two people were politicians, they couldn't be straightforward.

If you want to answer with words, you still need to use words when dealing with them.

In any case, the slave owners already knew from young Newton that the new Secretary of War was very interested in aircraft and expanding the army, which meant a steady stream of profits. This alone was enough for him to treat him as an equal.

"He wants to have his name in so many companies?" Upon hearing this, Edith Rockefeller glanced at Lindley not far away and whispered, "What a greedy person."

"Don't say that, dear." Sheffield shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "Most of them are just a false position with a salary. That's the way it is."

"But it takes so much for the Secretary of War to step down? What if the president steps down?" Louisa Morgan also came over to ask. Although their two families have done this kind of thing, neither of them has experienced it personally. They are both young Rockefellers.

I went to do it with little Morgan and got paid for holding so many positions.

"Of course the president has different treatment. Under normal circumstances, he does not need to take such a false position to receive salary. We usually help the president's relatives enter the business world and open a good company in this field. This is the case with Robert Parker.

"Sheffield shook his glass and answered, "If this president has made outstanding contributions, he can even have a charitable foundation of his own, as well as important directors with real power who can speak on the board of directors, far more than the Secretary of War.

Got this.”

"Why don't you give them the honorary president of Sheffield Union University?" Edith Rockefeller exclaimed helplessly, "I had only heard before that little John did everything in the family, but today I saw it with my own eyes."

"The honorary president of Union University will not be given until young Newton no longer serves as Minister of War." Sheffield chuckled, "I always have to leave some positions for the new Minister of War, and I can't give them all to Lindley."

It wasn't until the slave owners came clean about the aircraft orders and Army weapons supplies that Edith Rockefeller and Louisa Morgan formed a united front and felt that this was still a calculated deal.

"Don't make some emotional judgments to judge whether the business is profitable or loss-making, especially Louisa. Little William's education was relatively failed, but at least he and John learned to be cautious. George must use the best methods when growing up.

resources." Sheffield's eyes fell on Louisa Morgan, "I divide the property not because I want these industries to disappear in the hands of future generations."

"Actually, I'm curious, Lindley, why the women of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family are so obsessed with William Sheffield, as well as these, the former president's daughter, the Hollywood movie star, the female tycoon in the publishing industry, and even the foreign woman.

"Little Newton also saw the slave owner in the flowers with their peripheral vision, and asked in confusion.

"Oh, my friend, if I knew about this problem, I would be the one surrounded by these women." Lindley said with an exaggerated smile, "Obviously these women have been living together for a while and are very familiar with each other. This is what makes it worthwhile."

A place for research.”

The new Minister of War nodded solemnly, agreeing with his predecessor's statement. This question is actually very simple. If the two of them can be like Sheffield and give away their shares in the steel industry and electrolytic aluminum industry without hesitation, this will naturally happen.

treatment.

In this situation, Sheffield originally thought that Edith Rockefeller or Louisa Morgan would be the center of attention. Now it seems that she made a mistake in judgment. It was Alice Roosevelt who was really at ease. The former president's daughter was surrounded by civil servants and was at ease.

.

"I forgot that the people here are different from the upper class society you usually interact with." Sheffield nuzzled at the women from the two major families, with quite a bit of teasing in his mouth.

"The influence of political families will continue to decline over time." Louisa Morgan said with a hint of sourness in her tone. Of course, she said it was a fact, and it worked most of the time.

Sheffield also did not refute Edith Rockefeller and Louisa Morgan who had lost focus. It might have been possible for someone else, but Alice Roosevelt had a cousin named Franklin Roosevelt. Wait until this political family loses its influence!

"Mary Pickford and Minako Sato are here. The two of them couldn't get in the conversation and just went to play with Evelyn and Natalia. But having said that, it seems that after the Japanese woman came back from the incident in the Persian Gulf,

I've been feeling down for a while." Edith Rockefeller glanced in the direction of several women and said angrily, "You should talk to Minako Sato."

"Yes, she must have been influenced by her mother. Mrs. Sato is the first generation of Japanese descent and is very concerned about Japan. Many Japanese died in the Persian Gulf." Sheffield said helplessly, "Many Asians

Countries, including China, are like this. They always think that they are being targeted. Take this time as an example. I can't kill all the Indians and leave the Japanese deliberately. Then everyone can see that this is not spontaneous at all.

It was a religious conflict, but an act of massacre with strict instructions. Isn’t it fair to say that I killed some Japanese colonial soldiers even if I didn’t keep them?”

"Well, anyway, you have the upper hand and whatever you say is a reason, how can we ease the relationship with the Japanese government if the war is over? Now that I think of it, I finally paid back the loan for the Russo-Japanese War." Luisa

Morgan seemed to have remembered something and said angrily, "You must be careful when lending money to Japan in the future."

Ahem! Sheffield, who had a guilty conscience, pretended to be calm and said, "We will talk about the future later. After all, we all have to serve the United States. Sometimes we may temporarily sit with bad people and talk and laugh, and occasionally abandon good people who are uncooperative."

Reaching out to brush his hair, Sheffield felt that he should accompany a few women, especially Minako Sato, who had already shown signs of misunderstanding, although Japan would have to eat nuclear bombs sooner or later.

But this problem is like what Sheffield said. It is not that Japan is particularly hated, but that it happens to be the way of the United States. If any country were in the position and position of Japan in World War II, it would eventually eat nuclear bombs, but it happened to be

It's just Japan.

Can we avoid the consequences of eating a nuclear bomb? Sheffield's answer is no. Even in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States will most likely choose a nuclear war, especially knowing that the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons are only one-twentieth of the United States, which is not enough to destroy the United States.

Who allowed spies to appear within the Soviet Union at that time? It could have avoided exposing the insufficient number of nuclear weapons.

If the orders for aircraft and army weapons were a matter of course, the orders for aircraft carriers and submarines were an unexpected surprise. This surprise made Sheffield kneel down and lick Alice Roosevelt's pomegranate skirt.

There is no doubt that Franklin Roosevelt, who is now the Deputy Secretary of the Navy, played a key role in this. The three major decisive battles in Europe this year are in full swing. Coupled with the easing of relations between Sheffield and the United Kingdom, the trade volume of the United States has experienced explosive growth. In addition, domestic

With orders placed, 1916 was destined to be a bumper year for the United Company.
